Jimmy's Journal: Never Know

Everytime I look back I can't stop praising God. My earthly parent playing a very important roles in my life. They had done whatever's possible to make me a useful man, and my Dad in Heaven.... is doing the impossible to make me a king.


----------------------------------------



1999, I was a kid often wanna know more. To know more about life. And um... I liked to listen to people who seem wise (wise man, haha...) about their views on life. And that time buddhism influenced me a lot. I viewed life like a buddhist do. I tried my best to do good, please my family and my friends to gain recognition. I had a little success on it.


Until I met a person, Jon (short name). He studied same year with me in secondary school. He was my guitar teacher, the one inspired me the most in playing guitar. He was teaching a few of us in a class, he shared to us about the passion and the love of Jesus and brought us to church (this is a good idea to do outreach dude!). And thanks to my Father i was one of the victim. Hahaha (Selah...)[pause, calmly think about that]


--------------------------------------------

2000, Because of the enthusiastic guitar teacher, Jon. He invited me to a church camp. I didn't want to go because wanted to save my parent's money. I told Jon i would ask my parent for permission to join the church camp, and i thought my parent will never allow me because it's "church" camp. So i should be quite safe. Who know turned out my parent allow me to join. (It made me realized that God's hand is bigger) So i went. Amazingly, it was a great camp. In the strong presence of God, i was speaking in tongue during the worship session. I had never expect that, no one expect that. Haha (Selah...)[pause, calmly think about that]

-------------------------------------------

2004, Jon kept encouraging me to keep the sabbath and come and serve in children church. I stayed at a place far from the church, i wasn't driving. I wanted to serve as a bassist and i realized that they did provide transport for some children who stay near me. So i came only to children church, but not Sunday for convenience sake's. Regardless how they advised me to keep sabbath I just wasn't not moved. I know Jon and others bro and sis in Christ were disappointed by my decision. But they never gave up. They encouraged me continuously and i believe they prayed a lot for me.

-------------------------------------------

2005, All of them gave up. I stopped going to children church, they stopped inviting me to church. And that time we focused on our form 5 final exam. Seemingly the devil got the victory. Unknowingly, my academy was going down and down because i didn't have the reason and vision to study. I didn't even have the vision and reason to live for future. My life was just boring, I not sure whatever i was doing had anything to do with my future. I learned many good value and also bad value, but i was confused because i didn't have vision and reason for my life. I locked myself in room and i prayed and cried for revelations and purposes of life, and i gave my life to God. I did this many time since that time. Fuuh... the demon has never ever win even one time!!! Selah [pause, calmly think of that]

------------------------------------------

2009, I am now a fulltime minister in World Harvest Church. Sharing the same vision with my church and the Body of Christ. Now I am actively reaching out to non believer and train believer to be a disciple. And every day have fun with God, share His thought over me and His people. All glory to You, my King, Lover, Father, and Friend. Thanks Jesus!!

*I wanna share this to you my dear friends, that whatever effort you had made and effort that you are going to make for your disciples, friends, and your neighbor are definitely not wasted. Your prayer will certainly come to past, no doubt. You may never know what you had done has plant an important seed in somebody's life, and it's growing certainly. Thanks to my friends, Jonathan Loh, Gui Lan, Gui Lian, Pastor Wong Fook Sang, Steve Lee, Mun Hoe, and my formal leader and now my colleague, Karen Yap, and also my senior pastor Pastor David Wong Kim. Let our hearts not fail and be discouraged in our mission to see His will be down. Amen

We all look the same [adorable, deeply loved by God] in His eyes

Those who thinking themselves of no use, not deserve, not worthy, come and celebrate! In His eyes we all look the same with people who are success, intelligent, good looking.

Word of encouragement,

Do not think about yourself your way, think about yourself God's way.

From Bill Johnson: I not afford to have a thought that about me that is not His.



Took me a while, but i'm finally here
So i just wanna testify, make it crystal clear
(Take Ya Time)
See I've been picked out, to be picked on
Talked about out my friend's mouth
I've been beat down, til' He turned my life around
(Turned my life around)

Seems like I always fall short of being worthy
Cuz I ain't good enough, but He still loves me (Yeah)
I ain't no superstar, spotlight ain't shinin' on me (No, No, No, No, No)
Cuz I ain't good enough,(no) but He still loves me
(Loves Me!)

[Beyonce]
I used to, wake up some days, and wished I had stayed asleep (why cant you girl)
Cuz I went to bed on top of the world, today the world's on top of me
Now everybody's got opinions (They Share)
They ain't been in my position (They Don't Care)
And it breaks my heart when I hear
what they have to say about me
(What they say about you)

[Chorus: All]
Seems like I always fall short of being worthy
Cuz I ain't good enough, but He still loves me
I ain't no superstar, spotlight ain't shinin' on me
Cuz I ain't good enough,(no)but He still loves me
(Loves Me!)

I'm not perfect
Yes I do wrong
I'm trying my best
But It aint good enough
Shunned by the world
If I don't succeed
Cuz I aint good enough
But He still loves me


If you ain't worthy just raise your hands
And let me know that you understand
That we are all so blessed to be loved....loved
Stand for Him or fall for anything
Cuz through His eyes we all look the same
What will we do, without blame

Seems like I always fall short of being worthy (We are not worthy)
Cuz I ain't good enough, but He still loves me
I ain't no superstar, spotlight ain't shinin' on me
Cuz I ain't good enough,(no)but He still loves me (me me)

I'm not perfect
Yes I do wrong
I'm trying my best
But It aint good enough (But the Lord is so good to me)
Shunned by the world (if you shunned by the world)
If I don't succeed (Shunned by the world)
Cuz I aint good enough (I ain't good enough)
But He still loves me (But the Lord still loves me)x2

No I ain't good enough (No, No, No, No)
But He still loves me (Raise your hands if you understand)
No I ain't good enough (How He blesses you, coz He blessed me too)
But He still loves me (Even though I ain't worthy)
No I aint good enough (You ain't worthy,we ain't worthy He's there for you)
But He still loves me (No matter what I do)
No I aint good enough (I ain't good enooooooooough)
But He still loves.....me (But the Lord still loves...me)
